The Secret of the Pointed Tower

<p>A V��ry Unique Collection</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Pierre V��ry (1900-1960) spent his life as a writer. He fell into mystery writing after winning a genre award for his work. Among his many creations was&nbsp;<em>Les veill��es de&nbsp;la Tour Pointue, a quirky collection that breaks the fourth wall. The narrator, who happens to be Pierre V��ry, finds and publishes a series of mysteries.</em></p><p><em>While many of&nbsp;</em>V��ry<em>'s works were made into films, this book has never been published in English. A few of his novels, including The Murder of Father Christmas, have been released in English.</em></p><p><em>But no more. Best-selling author and Renaissance man Tom Mead translated this book to English and wrote a fascinating look at&nbsp;</em>V��ry<em>. He kept the humor and strange scenarios intact so the reader can see the talent of this little-known author.</em></p><p>Tom Mead is a Derbyshire mystery writer and aficionado of Golden Age Crime Fiction. His debut novel,&nbsp;<em>Death and the Conjuror,</em>&nbsp;was an international bestseller and its sequel,&nbsp;<em>The Murder Wheel,</em>&nbsp;was described as "brilliant" in a&nbsp;<em>Publishers Weekly</em>&nbsp;starred review and "a delight" by the&nbsp;<em>Daily Mail</em>. His third novel,&nbsp;<em>Cabaret Macabre</em>, will be published in 2024.</p>
